From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The correct title of this article is cron. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

cron is a time-based scheduling service in Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It is driven by a configuration file named crontab that specifies shell commands to run periodically on a given schedule. Early versions of cron, available up through Version 7 Unix and 32V made their services available only to the super-user of the operating system; this was the single-user version. With the release of Unix System V these services were extended to all account-holding users of the system, the multi-user cron.

MonkeyGames

OK, so let's go through that all over again for the sh5/12 I'm missing. Pleeeeease?

9:16 am

momof3boys

got it

9:17 am

MonkeyGames

co5/12 is like the things you put over teapots but missing one letter.

9:17 am

instantfame

by the way-- one great way to expand your wording knowledge fast is to find a place that gives you the words you miss- ... ive tried wordracer at yahoo (a little too kiddish for me, but good tool, i think you can even set it up with a friend in yahoo IM), weboggle (decent, but dictionary not up to date), and jumbletime.com (probably the best site out there to learn, but can be boring i suppose)

9:18 am

momof3boys

i would love to instant..but i just don't have that kind of time, stamina or solitude.... :) but, i will reference the sites, for future use, for paper purposes...have a few coming up

9:18 am

instantfame

used to try tangleword at playsite, or wherever it is now, but that place tended to attract cheaters too... hate that crap

9:18 am

sherb

instantfame - what do you mean 'the words you miss'? do you mean a programme that works out the words for you?

9:19 am

instantfame

oh! and... lexpert (i think you get it from carolravi.com... for free).. is a great tool to pick a set of words you might like, and dump it into excel or something. let's say you wanted all words that had a double i for instance... or whatever you want. kinda cool

9:20 am

instantfame

not exactly sherb-- those games i listed are interactive games. a puzzle is provided, you enter what you find, and at the end of the game, it lists all the words you missed.

9:20 am

9:21 am

harpjane

g'morning

9:21 am

instantfame

tangleword, wordracer, jumbletime and weboggle are all timed games with opponents. lexpert is just a dictionary you can narrow by whaetver parameters you put in

9:21 am

sherb

morning jane :)

9:22 am

instantfame

this dictionary here seems pretty reasonable- not sure it meshes exactly with OWL2 (teh official scrabble wordlist as of 2006), but it's pretty darn close.

9:22 am

sherb

I don't like times games so much... prefer to take it slowly...

9:22 am

sherb

*timed*

9:22 am

instantfame

yeah, timed games are hard to do due to all of the real-world interruptions

9:22 am

Strider

The U words are stumping me. Any help?

9:22 am

instantfame

that's why i quit doing them. though i'll do the word challenges sometimes at jumbletime-- they only last 2 minutes

9:23 am

Merk

ke 4,8?

9:23 am

sherb

un6/7 and up6/7 ... both combine with other words...

9:23 am

instantfame

the U words are both compounds

9:23 am

instantfame

well there's two, with a hook at the end for each heh

9:24 am

sherb

sorry, both up's...

9:24 am

vjones4

any clues for them tho? the up words...

9:25 am

instantfame

for the 6/39 and 7/56, use a word that would apply to maintaining your car...

9:25 am

Merk

ke 4,8 please.

9:25 am

instantfame

for the up6/30 and 7/44... think about supporting the law...

9:25 am

sherb

up + hang on to... the clue works for both sets of words...

9:26 am

I HAVE THE UP WITH THE LAW CLUE WHAT IS THE OTHER ONE

9:26 am

I found out he hard way I was allergic to amoxicillin

11:24 am

I was sore for a day afterwards, and I'm a total dental coward, too

11:24 am

jbp

but the drugs are worth it

11:24 am

sherb

ho4x7

11:24 am

stidmama

inge, have pudding, jello, soft foods ready to eat when you feel like it, make sure you take painkillers BEFORE you need them for a couple days. Mostly tooth pulling isn't that horrible in my experience. I'd rather that than fillings

11:24 am

thanks sherb

I disagree. I ended up with a dry socket. Never hurt so much in my life.

Only if you try to eat regular foods

11:26 am

I don't know what a dry socket is... off to look. brb

11:26 am

doxy1lover

I agree with hurshy. Dry socket doesn't happen that often, I was just lucky.

11:26 am

jbp

if he keeps it he ho+++ it

11:26 am

ZA

when you get food in the socket and it decays

11:26 am

inge

*makes out shopping list* this tooth split in half probabpy 4-6 weeks ago, never had any trouble, except the filling fell out, and the dentist said, it is split.

3:22 pm

Scrabbler

I have the knife-like one/s

3:22 pm

Vicuna

or switch out the last letter to get an alt spelling for trade

3:22 pm

Vicuna

(that comes from the other s, but its conjugation comes from the bottom)

3:23 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Vicuna--I had forgotten to plural it

3:23 pm

featherbee

bottom right s, you should know, sounds like your favorite sport scrabbler

3:23 pm

Vicuna

3:23 pm

featherbee

then add a letter to get a shooting sport

3:23 pm

carra

st6/24
